it’s hard to disagree with him with any empirical basis when all
of his statements seem empirically sound and all of his opponent’s AI Doomer statements seem like evidenceless FUD

The real problem is that that belief is BS until proven true. And as long as there are more good actors than bad, and AI remains just a sophisticated tool, the good effects will always outweigh the bad effects.
